Welcome to Colorado Salt Cave Wellness Center—a sanctuary for holistic health, balance, and deep renewal. Here, we believe that true healing reaches the mind, body, and soul. Every detail of our space was created to offer you the opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and experience profound transformation.

Our story begins with a personal journey. In 2019, while caring for her ailing father, our founder was navigating the heavy weight of stress, grief, and physical exhaustion. Searching for relief, she discovered the powerful healing benefits of Himalayan Salt Caves and halotherapy. Alongside Ayurvedic practices, meditation, counseling, and body therapies, these experiences became lifelines—restoring her strength, easing pain, and helping her rediscover joy in the midst of hardship.

“While death has been a frequent visitor, and grief has become my teacher, the process of healing with a newfound understanding of holistic wellness has created space for joy.” – Ro

Inspired by this transformation, she envisioned a sanctuary in Colorado Springs where others could find the same sense of peace, healing, and renewal. Colorado Salt Cave Wellness Center was born out of that vision—a place where alternative therapies, natural healing, and mindful connection come together under one roof.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide a haven for those seeking balance in an often overwhelming world. We know the realities of modern life—high stress, environmental toxins, emotional strain, and the longing for deeper connection. That’s why we’ve created a safe, nurturing space where you can breathe easier, feel lighter, and reconnect with your truest self.

We invite you to step inside, leave the noise of the world behind, and join us on a transformative journey toward a healthier, more balanced, and more connected you.

Come and join us on this transformative journey towards a healthier, balanced, and more connected you!

Meet Our Team

Rochelle Janecek – Founder, Colorado Salt Cave Wellness Center

Ayurvedic Body Therapies Specialist, LMT, CNMT, Reiki Master Teacher

Ro is the heart and visionary behind Colorado Salt Cave Wellness Center in Colorado Springs. With over 30 years of experience in customer service and a lifelong passion for helping others, she has dedicated her journey to creating a space where healing, connection, and renewal can thrive.

Her background is as unique as the center itself—holding a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education, working as a licensed massage therapist for over 15 years, and building a diverse career across multiple industries. This blend of creativity, hands-on healing, and people-centered experience naturally evolved into her mission: to offer others the same tools that transformed her own life.

For the past five years, Ro has immersed herself in holistic wellness practices, studying Ayurveda, exploring natural therapies, and deepening her commitment to mind-body-spirit healing. Through these practices, she discovered not only her own resilience but also the profound impact of holistic care on emotional and physical well-being.

At the Wellness Center, Ro shares her favorite modalities—halotherapy, body therapies, Ayurvedic practices, meditation, and more—believing in their power to nurture both inner peace and physical vitality.

Beyond her work, Ro cherishes time with her family and loved ones, enjoys creating art, staying active through fitness, and exploring the world through travel. Grateful and honored to serve her community, she holds a deep intention: that every person who walks through the doors of Colorado Salt Cave Wellness Center leaves feeling lighter, more balanced, and deeply cared for.

Alexandra Benson – Wellness Manager, Colorado Salt Cave Wellness Center

Alexandra has worked in the customer service industry for years and has a heart for serving people. Her exposure to holistic wellness began during ballet, taught by a retired ballerina from Japan who implemented breathing exercises and yoga as part of the curriculum. Before that, she had never had a ballet teacher who encouraged a healthy mental and emotional relationship with the art form in addition to focusing on physicality, and Alexandra fell in love with the new holistic methodology. Since then, she has expanded her wellness journey and used her passion for dance to fuel her work with natural wellness. Alexandra is also a model and dancer here in Colorado Springs and loves all things fashion and art-related. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, painting, and soaking up the Colorado sun with her cat and husband.

Alexandra comes from a half-Indian household where Ayurveda was practiced in many small, unspoken ways. Foods like daal, kitchari, and spiced curries were staples from her dad’s kitchen, and her mom would supplement daily workouts with yoga, which they would practice together. She appreciated the emphasis on slowing down and living in contrast to busyness and chaos, and this is something she has worked to establish in her life.

She is very excited to be working with us and looks forward to supporting all those who come in as they focus on wellness and holistic health practices.
